Ferric Sulfate 60% (Fe2(SO4)3, CAS 10028-22-5) is a reddish-brown, strongly acidic solution with a specific gravity of about 1.59. It is an effective coagulant for drinking water and wastewater treatment, phosphorus removal, sludge conditioning and odor (hydrogen sulfide) control. Ferric sulfate stains and corrodes steel and concrete, so plastic storage tanks with containment are common. Use the compatibility ratings to choose the right tank resin, fittings and gaskets.
HDPE is the most economical tank material for Ferric Sulfate 60%, rated Excellent. Polypropylene, nylon and PVDF (Kynar®) are also rated Good or better. Avoid aluminum hardware.
